Elevate your backyard barbecue with these tender, flavor-packed baby back ribs. Cooked low and slow over a smoky grill, they're slathered in a sticky, sweet sauce for the ultimate comfort food experience.
Prepare ingredients.
Set up the grill for low heat: gas on medium-low or charcoal on one side. Oil the grate.
In a small jar, mix together cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove the membrane from the back of each rack and score it with a knife as much as possible.
Rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the ribs, but avoid over-rubbing to prevent burning.
Place a foil sheet on the lower grill rack to catch drippings. Lay ribs on the upper rack (away from coals for charcoal) and cook, lid closed, for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C.
Brush ribs with barbecue sauce and grill for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve whole racks or cut into individual portions.
